    An air bubble of volume $1\,cm ^3$ rises from the bottom of a lake $40\,m$ deep to the surface at a temperature of $12^{\circ}\,C$. The atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^5 Pa$, the density of water is $1000\,kg / m ^3$ and $g =10\,m / s ^2$. There is no difference of the temperature of water at the depth of $40\,m$ and on the surface. The volume of air bubble when it reaches the surface will be $..........\,cm^{3}$

    A tall tank filled with water has an irregular shape as shown. The wall $C D$ makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, the wall $A B$ is normal to the base $B C$. The lengths $A B$ and $C D$ are much smaller than the height $h$ of water (figure not to scale). Let $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ be the pressures exerted by the water on the wall $A B$, base $B C$ and the wall $C D$ respectively. Density of water is $\rho$ and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity. Then, approximately

    Two spheres $P$ and $Q$ of equal radii have densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$, respectively. The spheres are connected by a massless string and placed in liquids $L_1$ and $L_2$ of densities $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ and viscosities $\eta_1$ and $\eta_2$, respectively. They float in equilibrium with the sphere $P$ in $L_1$ and sphere $Q$ in $L _2$ and the string being taut (see figure). If sphere $P$ alone in $L _2$ has terminal velocity $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }$ and $Q$ alone in $L _1$ has terminal velocity $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }$, then

    $(A)$ $\frac{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }\right|}{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }\right|}=\frac{\eta_1}{\eta_2}$ $(B)$ $\frac{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P }\right|}{\left|\overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q }\right|}=\frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1}$

    $(C)$ $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P } \cdot \overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q } > 0$ $(D)$ $\overrightarrow{ V }_{ P } \cdot \overrightarrow{ V }_{ Q } < 0$
